Beth Phoenix and Natalya Want Divas Ladder Match
Divas Champion Beth Phoenix and BFF Natalya have stated that they want to compete in the first ever Divas ladder match, reports LordsofPain.net.
Speaking to the February 2012 issue of WWE Magazine, the third-generation Diva says: “I want to compete in the first-ever Diva Ladder Match. Beth and I think it would be amazing, and I believe we could really pull it off.”
Meanwhile, the reigning Divas Champ, who competed in a ladder match in OVW with Katie Lea (now Winter in TNA), says: “I actually like to consider myself a pioneer for the ladies’ ladder match because if you check out Ladder Matches 2: Crash and Burn [WWE DVD], it actually features my ladder match from Louisville, Kentucky, in OVW.”
“I have been campaigning for WWE to let me compete in one and have even volunteered to put my Divas Championship on the line in it against absolutely anybody. I have the experience and truly believe the bar could be raised with that bout. There is no doubt in my mind that it would be the most spectacular Divas match of all-time.”

Here’s a book to watch out for: Former WWE and WCW star Madusa (Alundra Blayze) has revealed that she is releasing an autobiography.

Madusa competed in WCW from 1991-1993, before heading to WWE in 1993 through 1995 as Alundra Blayze. During that time, she captured the Women’s Championship and feuded with the likes of Bull Nakano and Bertha Faye. Madusa jumped back to WCW in December 1995, just as the Monday Night Wars were getting heated, and infamously threw the WWF Women’s Championship in a trash can live on Monday Nitro.
